hey im planin for a engine swap as well just read your post that the astra vxr to current model wil go in 2 the aveo.. im from the uk so mines a kalos dont know if thats any difference in regards to engine mounts i dont think there is.
buttt my question is that will the vxr's current engine Z20LEH fit straight in.. or would i need fabricated engine mounts..
also a bit of an issue i have is my gearbox has gone! so i need to replace it.. but for the time being im not plain engine swap til mayb next summer..
however my tranny is costing me £1000+vat
soo thought id try cheat the system.. would the gear box FOR the Z20LEH work with the kalos 1.4 2004 DOHC engine.. so that way im ready for the swap at least in some way.. rather than having to fork out for 2 gear boxes??
all help will be appreciated..
many thanks

I've seen on the UK ebay sight VXR engines for sale and you want the 6 speed to go with it.

isnt that the 2.8 version.. as its a z28 :\
will the aveo even be in 1 piece if i put my foot down LOL!
i was hesitating the 2ltr swap if it could handle that... let alone a 2.8.. BUUTT i wouldnt be complaining.. nice find btw..
im not looking to do the swap just yet.. bit short on funds at the mo. so im going to wait till maybe xmas time when i should have saved up enough money and go all out in the engine.. for now its all exterior and interior..
